[@cameo64]

Does the cost of dried vs. canned garbanzo beans take into consideration that the dried beans are "organic" and the can is not? I ask because when I searched their website, the organic cans, which are properly comparable to the dried, are $1.19 and not $0.79. That's a $1.73 difference and not a $0.17 difference between canned and dried comparable products.

[@Chelsyclb]

Mind Over Munch I would love if you could do a KETO friendly week prep! I am a 3 person house hold. We spend wayyyy to much money on food every month and it's starting to get hard. We love love our deserts, and we love love rice and starches. Obviously we don't eat those! But we replace them with other veggies! But we really need help! Keto is high fat low low carb! We have a 2 year old who loves italian food and mashed potatoes! So hard to keep our picky eaters happy!

[@buffyanissa]

This is why I mostly just opt for the dried b/c overall, when going organic...it's the better budgeting choice.

Mind Over Munc

[@Willnewman-Jugheadjones]

Mind Over Munch I'm curious about why there is only 5 portions of things when is clearly 7 days in a week.

[@steviegallagher1801]

I work at whole foods and I've been begging our marketing people to do a video like this to show it can be affordable to shop at our store. you beat us to it!

[@MindOverMunch]

That's amazing! How cool! It absolutely can be affordable with some planning, healthy food does not have to break the bank! Glad to have feedback from a Whole Foods native! :)

[@tiffanyx8577]

Love that you break down the math and science as well as creative cooking. Would love more of these "under $x" challenges

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!!

[@stephaniecansfield2430]

Okay, does nobody else not wonder how she gets the perfect yin & yang of salt and pepper each video!?

[@MindOverMunch]

haha! I wish there were an awesome secret!

[@edus82]

Stephanie Cansfield I always do too!!!

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

Stephanie Cansfield Hahahaha!!

[@hipretty]

There's gotta be an "awesome secret" 😊 it is just too symmetrical!

[@haku18910]

Stephanie Cansfield I guess you can do rather easily half salt/half pepper, then add the dots with a straw ?? (Never tried that unfortunately)

[@chelseajubis8071]

My jaw just hit the floor. Less than $50 for a week of meals from Whole Foods?! I've never subscribed so quickly.

[@MindOverMunch]

LOL so glad you enjoyed!! Happy to have you here :)

[@hamiltonandlauren]

Me too, but then I though $50 is for one person and we are a family of 3...

[@followmeintofitness5578]

hamiltonandlauren yes, we have 4 people to feed and $800 a month is ridiculous. Plus this appeared to be a 5 day week? Idk we eat 7 days a week lol

[@adrianb3507]

except this meal prep means you eat no meat at all. for a whole week.

[@lolalover24212]

Follow me into fitness the thing though is usually when you buy more it's less. Whether it's a 2 for 1 deal or anything similar, you get essentially an upper hand. Living alone has been SO expensive because rarely does anything come portioned for one person, and it's usually more expensive if it does. Meal preps like this are actually super handy because it allows me to figure out how to use the entire frozen bag of veggies right away, where as you could do it in one night feeding four people. Believe me, the more people to feed, the cheaper it becomes per person. A standard meal for me usually costs about $10-$15 but the same meal buying ingredients for 4 people averages out to $5-10 per person, just due to the lack of waste etc

[@CallMeNains]

Yes, more videos like this, and one pot dishes and maybe a freezer meal video!! 💕

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome!! Thank you! I did a freezer meals video a few months ago and will try to do another one :)

[@CallMeNains]

Mind Over Munch I think I watched that one, but I can't remember. I'll go look. Anything gluten free or vegan would be awesome. I'm gluten, dairy and soy free. And following the fodmap diet. So I have a heck of a time finding recipes! But you always share dif options for your meals. I love that! ❤️

[@pesto12601]

+Heather: Not to sound flip.. but if you are finding it hard to find FODMAP recipes you just aren't looking hard enough. www.google.com/#q=KZbin+Fodmap+recipes - 1.5 MILLION results...

[@CallMeNains]

pesto12601 actually, the hard part is fodmap that also doesn't include my other food allergies and sensitivities. So you do sound just a little flip. But thank you for the link.

[@pesto12601]

Heather Lynn Newton Yeah.. but fodmap recipes are generally already gluten, soy and dairy free so unless you other allergies not listed - its not that hard to find recipes. Of course, its lots of work to support a fodmap diet... but here is a good site that I've used with recipes that should fit the bill for you. Good luck!

[@MindOverMunch]

Munchies! This challenge was tough, but manageable! Just goes to show that eating healthy doesn’t HAVE to be ridiculously expensive. I don’t usually shop at whole foods, and won’t regularly because it’s just easier to find healthy affordable options elsewhere, but the point is it can be done! #noexcuses If you guys want more videos like this or have other challenges/meal prep requests let me know what they are!

[@Kalifa_TriniMom]

pressure cookers works wonders when it comes to dried beans.

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

Mind Over Munch I'm glad you didn't make this completely vegan. I do like vegan meals but as I'm not vegan and my family isn't it's nice to have a more realistic option

[@marilynng2877]

Yes! More 1 pot recipes please!! And I want to know how can I take the wax off my apples? I bought organic apples from Wholefoods the other day but I noticed they have wax too! So disappointed 😔

[@og531]

Marilynn Gabaldon I use dr. Bronner's to soak my fruit. I get an allergic reaction to the wax coating so it's a must to remove.

[@marilynng2877]

OliviaG85 Thankyou! I'll check it out! 👍😊

[@ArlenesLifestyle]

Using a pressure cooker for dry peas/beans cuts down the cook time to 30 to 45 minutes. It's a must in our Caribbean households.

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome tip!! Thank you!

[@BlueberryBumblebees]

A Wallace I usually just use my super cheap rice cooker. It takes a little while, but you don't have to babysit it, just look occasionally and make sure it has enough water.

[@MindOverMunch]

another great choice!

[@ArlenesLifestyle]

Yes that works well also

[@TechByMattB]

WHOA! I'm gonna miss the daily uploads, but I much prefer this format over the bento box format. Either way keep up the great work!

[@MindOverMunch]

So glad you enjoy, we're back to our regular format so no worries :) Cheers!

[@TechByMattB]

Also, your flat lay video skills are on point! I'ts inspiring to see the way other genres of youtube videos are produced and I really want to implement some of those techniques into my own videos.

[@SnowyOwl0731]

With a full-time job, I find it's _a lot_ easier to stay on track with meal prepping. So yes, MORE meal prep videos, please!

[@MindOverMunch]

I totally agree! Meal prep saves me! Thank you :)

[@thriftyacorns3545]

Wow those prices are incredible compared to here (Ontario, Canada). Frozen fruit is minimum $5/bag, organic frozen cauliflower would be at least $5 as well, and the canned chickpeas are $1.25-$1.75 depending on organic or not.

[@Bhilithinn]

I was thinking the same thing. Also from Ontario.

[@MindOverMunch]

Wow, that is a serious price difference! I certainly can't afford all organic ingredients on my budget, it definitely adds up!

[@WhiteTigerEmilie]

Thrifty Acorns here too !!! I was thinking the same thing so much more expensive here :(

[@florentinaroxi89]

Same here in Switzerland.🙈😔

[@Crystalbomb321]

Thrifty Acorns Yeah everything is so cheap in the States :(

[@applebitch97]

I'd love to see more one pot meals!!

[@MindOverMunch]

great!! I've got some ideas :) :)

[@Thevietvegan]

Whoa that dried vs cooked bean breakdown was super helpful. Awesome!! Thanks for all your work Alyssia!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay so glad you found it useful!! :)

[@amaliegabel9520]

I usually cook my chickpeas in bulk and than freeze what I don't need for later.

[@goodsamwise]

It was great, but I'm not sure it was quite fair to compare the Organic dried beans to non organic canned.

[@GratefulThird]

Also remember that the dried is probably better for the environment because the cans are a lot of metal that takes a fair amount of energy to recycle.

[@vvenergy]

Request: Could you maybe do a cooking series on low carb high fat eventually? I switched over to keto eating (I've lost 100lbs!) but I love how you put together everything, I've been a long time watcher, and would love love to see how you would tackle a meal prep of that nature. Thanks!

[@nivia7684]

vvendy rox much love and respect to your courage to make a dietary switch. Although I don't know you I feel morally obligated to at least warn you of the danger in a keto diet. It's truly life threatening and I urge you to watch and listen to Mic the Vegan's informative video on the Ketogenic diet. I wish you the best xoxo

[@vvenergy]

Nivia I disagree but thanks for trying to help. 😊

[@nivia7684]

vvendy rox you're welcome, I understand if the channel's name is a turn off. I didn't mean to sound too dramatic, but the video is worth a listen. Of course, it was only suggestion

[@vvenergy]

My personal issue with with insulin and inflammation, so I have to suppress them. I have eaten all raw and all vegan in the past and it amplified my issues. There is a lot of research out there to support different ways of eating based on personal needs so I take no offense. Sugar, carbs, grains - they pretty much are not my friends anymore. I have had doctors test me prior to starting and after going for a year. I feel confident I'm not hurting myself, quite the opposite but also, I don't eat processed "atkins" style foods. Think paleo, but without sweeteners and potatoes.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thanks for the suggestion! I have been wanting to play around with some keto recipes :)

[@ushersbabiigirl]

I've been watching you for years now, and you and your content are just SO impressive. You are always very informative, and it shows how much time and effort you put in to these videos. Much appreciated!

[@MindOverMunch]

Wow, so amazing you've been with us for so long!! Thank you!! Your feedback is so helpful, I do feel we've grown a lot! And still much more growth we'd like to achieve :) and we are SO GRATEFUL for your continued support!

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for sharing this budget friendly recipe. Budgeting better with my groceries has been heavy on my mind with all the rising prices. This kind of video is so helpful for me and I am sure many others right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn more. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!

[@wiirdee]

please do trader joe's next :)

[@MindOverMunch]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@iluvdogz94]

The Angry Angel I second this

[@fonluv4ever]

Mind Over Munch great video thank you!

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

The Angry Angel I third that! Trader Joe's is my favorite place and budget friendly.

[@amongthewildspices]

The Anonymous Angel I know I’m late to the party but I’m so happy to see so many ppl who love Trader Joe’s too! All my recipes is food from there !

[@TheLuzy18]

I absolutely love this video filled with amazing information your comparison of canned beans to dry beans is on point and completely accurate I truly enjoyed this type of videos please keep them coming in makes everyone's life so much easier

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome! I really appreciate the feedback, thank you! :) More to come!

[@animalsareinnocent1318]

You go to so much trouble and it is greatly appreciated. I was wondering if you would have time to do a meal prep video where there is something different to eat every night because I adore your recipes. The bento series was just brilliant.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely brainstorm :)

[@chim711]

I can't help but admire how high-quality your videos are. I can tell you put a ton of time into this!

[@MindOverMunch]

We appreciate that SO much, thank you! We work hard to create great content and are always trying to do better, so glad it shows :)

This channel started this year out with a BANG! The quality of the content and vídeos are just stunning. Keep up The great work and keep em coming!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!! We are upping our game in 2017 lol :) I appreciate the feedback and thank you for being here!

[@deyarunima]

I think I get more information about nutrition and reading labels and understanding easy meals preps from your videos than everything else combined! Thankeeee for such a brilliant channel! :) And a BIG Yes to more break downs please!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!!

[@letsfood6966]

Your videos are so well made ! I could watch them all day long 😄

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much! That means the world :)

[@babydollsandy]

I also loved hearing the breakdown about the garbanzo beans being frozen or dried and I thought that fact about brown vs. white rice being cooked was pretty cool.

[@ajwriter5699]

This is excellent, but I just can't eat the same thing 7 days per week.

[@MindOverMunch]

Just a few weeks ago I did a meal prep with 5 different meals for the week so you never have to eat the same thing. Check it out! cheers

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

AJ Writer I know. Was talking about this with my family recently. We like more variety.

[@SivenMs]

You can combine several meal preps, just freeze some of the soup for example and sub with dishes from other week preps.

[@filipacj695]

Robin hut

[@dutchessbeauty8865]

AJ Writer my thought exactly

[@GOTHICKA413]

I loved this video!!! I definitely will try the lunch and dinner for my family. Can you do a Trader Joe's and Costco challenge? Thank you

[@MindOverMunch]

Oh that would be fun! Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@BudgetGirl]

This was a fantastic video! I'd love to see more 1pot meals!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Thanks girl!

[@Mao2187]

Budget Girl Budget Girl = awesome 😎

[@brunosmine3132]

Budget Girl agreed!

[@kershjo]

Yeah, that 17 cents you saved went out the door with the gas it took to cook the chickpeas for 4 hours :-D. Would love more breakdowns like that. Also, thanks for this -- I have a daughter in college and am glad to know it is possible to eat healthy on a budget.

[@MindOverMunch]

haha, ok great, thank you!

[@MP-ii9uv]

kershjo She wasn't trying to say she saved 17 cents she's showing you that both options cost you basically the same

[@kershjo]

Hi Monica, Yes, I realize that, that's what the smiley face (Albeit the old fashioned type, because I was not on my phone), was for. I was teasing, because the trouble wasn't worth it. Maybe I should've used the winky face ;-).

[@hannapadalitskaya2309]

Monica Price

[@maryshaffer8474]

She has instant pot now.v

[@geocyo8835]

your tips are great, but your production quality is out of this world! i can appreciate the time that went into all of this. you just earned a new subscriber! i can't wait to use your meal prep ideas!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that! Welcome to the channel, happy to have you here! New meal prep video just launched today that you might enjoy :) Cheers!

[@creativegraceco]

You will be my saving grace! I'm currently unemployed and living with family, but things are slowly getting better. Once I have a job, I fully intend to meal prep to save money. Thank you so much!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad these videos are useful for you!! :)

[@tmart566]

Yes!! One pot dishes please? Loved this vid thx

[@MindOverMunch]

Great, I appreciate your feedback! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@yashvardhanrautela]

This was the best videos of yours that I watched.

[@MindOverMunch]

[@jamiecee4960]

Yes please one pot meals. I'm starting to get into meal prep. I think it will help me. Cause some days I just do not want too cook. And you know where that leads when you are trying to eat healthy. lol. Nice video.

[@MindOverMunch]

I know the feeling! I'm so burned out at the end of the day, I struggle with dinners most, so keeping something prepped on hand helps me out :) Thank you for watching!

[@brendawoodside3768]

A meal prep video for a different dinner AND breakfast and lunch variety, too! That would be living the dream.

[@MindOverMunch]

yeah! I did a video sharing variety for dinner :)

[@laurenmichelle1467]

I loved everything about this. the number breakdown, the quick hacks, reusing items in bulk for other meals. it's perfect thank you!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay thank you so much!! :)

[@patrizialammek7177]

Please more meal prep !! I just love them!!!Great Video !!!💗💗💗💗💗

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad, Tracey :) Thank you!! So happy that this video was helpful for you :) :)

[@Shawnmyrelle]

Every since I stopped flooding my feed with VEVO music and anime, these KZbin recommendations have been on point! Its like, as soon as I decided to deny my same interest, I started finding some great stuff! I have a Whole Foods 10 minutes from my house by foot. You just gained a new subscriber.

[@MindOverMunch]

That's so awesome, glad to have you here! Welcome to the channel!! :)

[@smurfette10111]

[@belledusudsoapery-byjodie1549]

I love that you Educate When doing these videos. I learn & I'm sure so many benefit frm it! Would love more 1pot dishes too. Great video aa😉🖒💚👏🌱!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you, Jodie! It's so helpful for me to hear that you are learning from these videos :) one pot dishes coming your way soon!

[@leslieinadress]

I need a tutorial on that yin yang.

[@MindOverMunch]

haha

[@fbbWaddell]

We're not joking. I need that tutorial as well.

[@iamchristiancraig]

Is there a super strong garlic tastes in the one pot rice. I just wanna know so I can use as a reference to adjust. PLEASE MORE ONE POT DISHES! Maybe even vegan ones (though I am not one one it is just fun to eat vegan every once in a while)

[@MindOverMunch]

There is definitely a noticeable garlicky taste! I love the taste of garlic, ha - if you're not a fan, I would tone it back a bit. Glad you like the one pot dishes! I will be brainstorming some ideas :) And I agree, it's fun to eat vegan every once in awhile!!

[@helenputman7092]

hi! I've had an eating disorder for most of my life, and my relationship with food is very complicated and laced with misinformation. I've stumbled across your videos and been on a TOTAL mind over munch binge - I'm learning a lot in ways that are forgiving of mistakes, generally easy to follow, and love your positivity! Since I'll be living on my own soon, meal prep is going to be very important for me to ensure I am properly (and comfortably) fueling myself for every day. Thank you for all you do - I'm excited for recovery again! :-)

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so happy to have you in this community. Finding that healthy relationship with food is a tough, long journey... It requires intention from me every day! Be compassionate with yourself

[@TwoBitDaVinci]

We just watched a few of your videos, and we love the content! Great info, great presentation, and amazing video quality! Can you go over the camera/setup you use for creating your youtube videos? thanks, just subscribed!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much!! Glad you are enjoying :) Welcome to the channel! We use a Sony A7S II camera with 3 primary Canon lenses (a 24-105mm f4, a 100mm f2.8 and a 50mm f1.4), and a metabones adapter to use the Canon lenses on the Sony body. Be sure to follow me on Snapchat and my Instagram story - that's the best way to see behind the scenes of our video shoots!

[@TwoBitDaVinci]

Wow that's awesome, we've been eyeing a A7SII for a while. Will definitely find you on Instagram. Thanks for taking the time, and thanks for the great video style and content!

[@seanpaints]

With the extra 5 dollars i would add chocolate chips to that trail mix. really great video!

[@MindOverMunch]

Nice choice!! So glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@jessicathompson236]

Sean Paints , dark chocolate

[@JillCimorelli]

that soup looks amaaazing! definitely making that soon!

[@MindOverMunch]

Glad you like the recipe, thank you! :)

[@iamchristiancraig]

At first I thought you were going to put raw popcorn kernels in the trail mix XD

[@MindOverMunch]

LOL not this time! :)

[@wendyhutchinson457]

Christian Craig I was thinking the same thing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@elevatedeuphoria74]

More one pot dishes! i actually just discovered this channel, so ill have to binge watch for a bit...but I love what you're doing and the quality of your work is inspiring!!

[@MindOverMunch]

More one pot dishes coming soon! So glad to have you here :) and thank you for your kind words!! I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the channel and feeling inspired :) :)

[@SR-oc7fc]

This was awesome. I really love how you make it flexible so that it can be customized for whatever preferred way a person eats. I am plant-based and eat low fat, so modifying dinner was easy enough. One of my faves is to cook a massive pot of vegetable and bean soup on Sunday and eat every day for lunch. It's so simple but incredibly filling; plus, it worked well with this challenge. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode! My hope is for this channel to be a place that accommodates all lifestyles :) Bean soup sounds delicious!! Perfect for this challenge!

[@touqeeraltaf7753]

you have done brilliant job

[@MindOverMunch]

WOOHOO!

[@TBizTch]

OMG yes do one pot videos for college students

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome, thank you for the feedback it's helpful!! :) :)

[@upikpuspita9512]

I'm still wondering why she hasn't reached 1 Million subscribers yet.... She's so good at what she's doing.

[@MindOverMunch]

Ha thank you so much!! I wish we were at a million!! Someday I hope :)

[@bella-tr8fv]

upik puspita: that's what I've been saying all along......♥

[@dainerystargaryen]

WOW it is literally the best meal prep I've ever seen! And probably the best youtube video overall. So thought out and well made! Keep going! You're the best!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed :)

[@rkatika9]

This is great! I usually buy organic veggies and fruits, which would probably add $10-$15, but if you think about how much it costs to eat out, this is still much more affordable. It was your first video I watched, now onto watch the others, thank you for taking the time brainstorming, prepping, AND filming all this. It's a huge help!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yes absolutely! Cooking at home saves so much money relative to eating out! So glad you enjoyed this video, and glad to have you here!! :) :) Welcome to the channel!

[@pesto12601]

Chickpea debate: You grabbed a bag of ORGANIC dried beans... vs the canned which are non-organic. That same bag of dried bean in non-organic should be like $1.99... even at whole foods so you math doesn't equate!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yes you are correct and that's a great point! They only had organic dry chickpeas available, so this comparison is not entirely accurate because organic foods will have higher prices - I would like to do another comparison using non-organic dried and canned chickpeas! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@pesto12601]

Mind Over Munch My Pleasure.. btw - I subscribed! I enjoy your energy and no-nonsense approach to things... while watching this episode - it was like an "aha" moment about prepping food for the week.. no excuses not to eat healthy if its sitting the fridge all ready to go! Thx for your efforts... off to buy your ebook....

[@alimercieca5941]

Love the canned vs dried beans bit. Canned beans are worth it.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you! I agree on the canned :)

[@nitaf71]

I would love to see some one pot meals and maybe some slow cooker meals

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Thanks for the interest :)

how long does it take you to make the yin-yang symbol with the salt and pepper?

[@MindOverMunch]

Just a few minutes! :) I've gotten better at it with practice :)

[@letthecreativityout7521]

Yes more videos like this and I loved how you drew out the comparison on dried vs canned beans! I have always wondered about that and just never took time to calculate it out!

[@MindOverMunch]

WOW that's a HUGE compliment! Thank you so much!! :) :)

[@physhac]

Love this! I appreciate any meal prep plan like this that shows how to repeat use of ingredients so things like fresh herbs don’t go to waste. Thank you

[@TornBTWthe2]

one pot meals series!!!!@@

[@MindOverMunch]

Great! Thank you :)

[@_shrimpy7641]

Could you make diy apple crisps or dried apples?

[@MindOverMunch]

Great suggestion! I'll brainstorm :)

[@ferson8734]

Could you do a video on completely sugar free (no honey, agave, maple syrup, stevia etc) deserts made from fruit and sweet veggies?

[@MindOverMunch]

Great idea, thank you! I'll brainstorm some ideas :)

[@jesters.workshop]

I would absolutely love more one pot meals!! I work full time and I'm at school full time so those one pot meals are super easy!! 😊 love this channel so much

Lindsay Mayfield I do it too lol...it's hard not to do it, after watching the bento series!

[@MindOverMunch]

LOL YOU'RE AMAZING :) :) :)

[@mrsjudys]

Oh my....I do too!

[@deyarunima]

I am with you! :D

[@iamchristiancraig]

Lindsay Mayfield I thought I was the only person who did that! Glad to know I'm not alone!😅😅😅

[@Dixie096]

I was drooling over the soup recipe! Looking forward to making it my next prep day. Thank you so much for these awesome ideas!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yessss I will take your drool as a compliment!! Glad you enjoyed these ideas! Always a pleasure :)

[@Maddiesgotback]

I just found your channel through this video and just want to say thank you for being so informative and clear about the choices you made!! I'm now subscribed and can't wait to see what other videos you make! Thank you!

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome, so glad you liked the video!! Welcome to the channel :) very happy to have you here!

[@lilarose3285]

I'd like more one pot dishes :)

[@MindOverMunch]

Ok awesome! Thanks :)

In Ontaro where electricity prics are stupidly high, canned beans are a much better choice

[@1999isabele]

Drama_Llama_5000 If the uncooked beans are much cheaper than canned, I think sprouting it is a good idea since the nutricional value is enhenced when sprouted(so it's good for you and your budget, but it's not so fast).And *soaked* beans don't require a lot of cooking they actually need to be soaked because of the antinutrients...

[@MindOverMunch]

great point!

[@icannotchoose]

asI Marques I just remember I can also get green chickpeas frozen really cheap too

[@TheBowchikawowow1]

Does that include the prices of all those containers?

[@MindOverMunch]

No, you can package your meals however you'd like.

My older sister is very picky,and hates veggies! But we convinced her by clean dressings on the side! Now she loves veggies just like me. Her fav is snap peas!

[@kokolatte825]

+Mind Over Munch I really appreciate how well you organize and edit every video!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay thank you!! :)

[@ferieljenah9514]

Please ^^ A one pot dinner video. Preferably vegan ^^! Thank you.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!

[@phyllisstein1837]

hahaha, not including the expensive stuff like olive oil and spices. ;)

[@arobichaud40]

oh I'm loving this. I did groceries today and I spent way more for way less food! I need to meal prep better from now on!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay that's so great! Glad this video was useful for you :)

[@Mbudd391]

Brilliant. Lots of great ideas. I love the one pot meals! Thanks!

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome, thank you!! :)

[@elizabethroa6970]

thanks for adding protein. seriously. soo much vegan food bores me

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm glad you enjoyed this! :)

[@GamingFoodie]

Absolutely love the breakdowns! You did so much work and research to explain things that we either heard the wrong info for (canned is so much cheaper, for example), or never think about in the first place but need to know. Thank you!

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay thank you so much!! Glad this video was useful for you! :)

[@happyhollie]

That popcorn popping scene is so satisfying!

[@MindOverMunch]

LOL yessss so much fun to shoot, too! :)

[@rwhp9789]

It's so helpful to have these ideas and recipes as a guide. I end up spending a ton of money on things that end up going bad, mostly because I purchase ingredients without a clear idea of what to do with them. Thank you for providing proof that it's possible to generate healthy, make-ahead meals without breaking the bank to do it.

[@MindOverMunch]

So glad this video is useful for you!! :) :)

[@heliaalves9062]

I'm so impressed with this video! No silly tips, very sensible info. Thank you, subscribed ❤️

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you! Welcome to the channel, happy to have you here!

[@sy3777]

I got just purchased your ebook! Meal prepping is loads of fun and I feel extremely relieved through the week without worrying about about what I'll be eating . And my mom loves this chickpea salad :) the salad chopper is a game changer :) having salads everyday now! Thank you :D

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay! Thank you! I love that salad chopper!

[@kayow8297]

probably the best meal prep ive seen on youtube, good job!

[@MindOverMunch]

That's so amazing to hear, thank you!! :)

[@lexinatornado]

You rock! I appreciate that you break the whole process of meal prep into something that's attainable and accessible to all. Thank you! :)

[@MindOverMunch]

My pleasure :) I'm so glad this video was helpful for you!

[@IraisAguilar]

I don't know if you got a better filming team because, wow! The tracking, pans and general video editing has gotten SO. MUCH. BETTER ♡

[@MindOverMunch]

That's so amazing to hear, thank you!! :)

[@dancercofd]

Love these challenges! Definitely would love to see some more one pot meals. My partner and I just moved in together and we only have a few pots/pans right now, so anything to conserve dishes is extremely welcome :)

[@MindOverMunch]

Yay thank you! I've got some one pot meals coming your way soon :)

[@jennrex7447]

Totally just prepped the lunch on this and created my own trail mix! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@MindOverMunch]

So cool!! Thanks for trying out the recipes! I hope you enjoy them :)
